Tiki vs. Lounge

Arguments for Tiki

  1. Tiki is more iconic. (What's more iconic than a Tiki?)
  2. You can be really fat but still look good in an Aloha shirt.
  3. Tiki has a spiritual homeland (Polynesia/Hawaii is like Israel).
  4. Tiki has a bible.
  5. Tiki has a more active web site.
  6. Tiki can be franchised.

Arguments for Lounge

  1. Loungers get laid more.
  2. Loungers dress better.
  3. Loungers are better dancers.
  4. Loungers live in more stylish pads.
  5. Gin is better than rum (IMHO).
  6. Frank Sinatra vs. Don Ho ?? ( No contest. And sorry, Denny Martin didn't sing).

That's all I can think of right now.

My next comparison will be Tiki vs. Punk Rock.
